About Untangled

Untangled unpacks the struggle women have with feeling like who we are and what we do is good enough. We’re bombarded with daily reminders that we just don’t measure up. And unfortunately, we’re listening.

We might feel insignificant as a wife or ineffective as a mom. We might feel worthless because we don’t fit the world’s definition of beauty or battle feelings of rejection because of other women. We may gauge our value based on our income or how well we cook and clean.

Or honestly, it could be a million other things.

The truth is, there’s no shortage of not-good-enough messages tangling our lives every day. And unless we understand what they’re doing to us and ask God to unknot the insecurities that are choking our sense of worth, we will never have a healthy self-esteem.

This book is my story—my journey—to find the good in me, and to learn how to silence the voices that have called me I’m worthless. Chances are it’s your story too. Insecurity is a thread that knits us together as women.

But there is hope.

The God who created us on purpose is relentless in pursuit of our healing. And He is the only One who can heal our black and blue hearts from the tangles that have bruised it. When we ask Him to heal us, He will.

“The righteous cry out, and the Lord hears them; he delivers them from all their troubles. The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit. ” -Psalm 34:17-18

Do you want to be untangled from the insecurities that have knotted up your self-worth? Are you tired of feeling like you just don’t have what it takes? Do you want to find joy in life and contentment with yourself?

It’s time, friend.

Untangled is an honest discussion about the things that make us feel worthless. It’s not another self-help book. It doesn’t offer to fix you. And it isn’t full of empty promises. Instead it will challenge you to take a truthful look at your life, revealing the source of your own not-good-enough messages and making a case for why Jesus is the only One who can silence them.

Told with humor, vulnerability, and encouragement, this book will connect with the heart of every women.

“Carey Scott is a fresh voice for women. Her straightforward, authentic approach to life and her willingness to share even the deepest parts of it combine beautifully with her love for the Lord. This book made me laugh and it made me cry, but most importantly it reminded me that even in the darkest times and places in life, my hope can be found in Christ.”

“The big question most women face in life is this: What makes us significant? Beyond that, we wonder if we are really worth loving. So many of us are content to trade admiration or approval for the love we need more than anything. In her brave book, Carey Scott rips back the curtain of her own private struggles and invites us to take a good hard look at this question in our own hearts: How many opportunities in life—how many chances at love—will we miss because of the tangled up mess of insecurity in our soul? I found myself thinking, I didn’t even realize that was still a struggle for me! Carey reminds us in profound ways that life is too short, energy is too precious, and we are too valuable in God’s eyes to be strangled by knots of insecurity. Allow Carey to take your hand and encourage you so that, starting today, you can begin (or begin again) the brave story of the rest of your life.”

“In Untangled, Carey Scott helps us identify and discover how to be biblically set free from those things that hold our hearts captive and prevent us from living the abundant life Jesus died to give us. With vulnerable transparency, Carey shares her personal ‘tangles’ and gives readers the tools they need to overcome their own. If we want to fully embrace our God-given destinies, we must first become untangled—and Carey Scott helps us do just that. A definite must-read!”
